Surface Pro and Surface Laptop may only receive simple spec bumps

We hope you weren’t expecting major overhauls of the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop at Microsoft’s October 2nd event — you might be disappointed. Sources for WinFuture have claimed that both the Surface Pro 6 and Surface Laptop 2 (not necessarily their actual names) will largely represent spec bumps. They’ll be available in black in higher-end configurations, but the design would otherwise be unchanged — and that would leave you without USB-C for yet another year. That could be particularly frustrating if you have a USB-C smartphone or other modern peripherals, especially when the Surface Go and Surface Book 2do have the newer connector.
